We Are Indie Horror has published a lovely review of the film. "Unlike Any Horror You’ve Seen!"
"Suffice it to say, The Forest of Lost Souls is a film quite unlike any
other you’re likely to see this year. Shot in gorgeous black and white,
Lopes has created a horror tale which draws you in with real human
emotional interaction, then holds onto the viewer by way of a strangely
fascinating sense of curious unease. ... Going into further detail spoils the movie terribly, but Lopes continues on with a movie that takes the
sense of humanity and interacts in The Forest of Lost Souls‘ beginning
and turns it on its head, and really trusts the viewer to understand the
changes which occur. It’s resolute in its vision, and the work of the
cast is superbly restrained, with histrionics being far from the order
of the day. It’s so subtle as to likely rule the opinions of genre
purists, but for those with an open mind, The Forest of Lost Souls is a
fantastic new kind of horror."

The film will be distributed in North America by Wild Eye Releasing, in Sweden by Last Exit Entertainment andis repped by Sharp Teeth Films.
